It's been an emotional few days for Brandi Glanville in regard to her missing dog Chica. She's been understandably upset for what has to be months (I'm going by what we're watching each Monday on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and what we see in real time as Brandi's life literally plays out on Twitter).

I certainly don't blame Brandi for being emotional about her pooch. After all, pets are totally part of the family as the most gentle and loyal companions. However, just this week Brandi had a glimmer of hope as far as Chica is concerned.

Real Housewives ofBeverly Hills'Brandi Glanville certainly isn't known for being politically correct…especially on Twitter! The self-proclaimed drunk tweeter either garners laughs or criticism for her flippant tweets, and this weekend was no different as Brandi lamented about switching teams due to the lack of quality men.

While we were waiting for a confirmation or denial, these photos popped up, clearly showing that these two are just fine and not bitterly feuding.

Brandi spent the day shopping at Kyle Richards'boutique with her mom and her friend Jennifer Gimenez. Last night Brandi was snapped arriving at Villa Blanca to enjoy dinner with Lisa, Ken Todd, Jennifer, Pandora, and even Giggy! Oh and Mr. T. Seriously.

Updated to add: Brandi did respond to a fan asking if she and Lisa were having issues. She replied with "I will always love her but sometimes friends have hic-ups." So, either there was a little producer-scripted argument or they did have some small disagreement….

Brandi Glanville put her people skills to good use again last night as the hostess of the OK! Magazine SO SEXY event at Skybar. (For those who have asked, Brandi is wearing a piece from S.I.C. Couture.)

Night School 4 Girls sent us these great shots of Brandi Glanville, Lisa Vanderpump,Yolanda Foster, Jennifer Gimenez and more having some fun as they channel their inner stripper. From the site, "Real Las Vegas Showgirls teach women how to shimmy and shake like a pro. Learn the art of seduction, different pole dancing tricks and a burlesque routine with chairs and boas in the 70 minute, ladies–only class."

Are you looking forward to this week's episode? Are you prepared to see these ladies shakin' their groove thangs?

Finally, a new housewife that I'm super excited to see! I have always held a special place in my heart for the ladies of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It's not because I like their personalities more than the women of the other franchises. I think I'm just enthralled with their amazing lifestyles. They are head and shoulders above the other housewives when it comes to vacation homes, couture, and bling. I'm addicted!

What's even more exciting about the RHOBH cast is that the newbies are stirring up more drama than their veteran counterparts. You have to love when a new addition comes into the situation with guns blazing. It's awesome. Having already decided that Yolanda Foster was going to be my dark horse favorite, I am disappointed in myself for not giving more credit to Marisa Zanuck. As viewers, we haven't been introduced to this firecracker yet, but she's already schooled in working the media. How can you not respect that?
